Hi Angelina,
I'm sorry you have rsd and these horrible pains. I have had the same pains and my gp had me get an abdominal and pelvic ultrasound on top of an mri. They found out I had endometeriosis. It had gone undetected for years they told me, even though I complaiend to my obgyn foryears about this pain. My obgyn said it was normal cycle pain and just me getting older pains. They never did tests. Ithank God my gp did take tests. he couldn't believe they didn't. I then went to get the endo removed and also had cysts and an infection removed too. I thought it was my rsd causing the pain but it was the endometriosis. But the rsd made it feel alot worse. You may have some other problem too. maybe its your appendix. I don't know because i'm not a dr. but I would start with your gp and ask him what he thinks and of maybe he can have you get tests for your abdominal pain. Also tell your obgyn and pm dr and neurologist to see if its the rsd causing it.
I know its hard and scary, but try to keep as calm as you can so as not to aggravate the rsd. that will cause flares. I used a heating pad on my stomach to help ease the pain along with my pain meds to keep my rsd pain under control. Maybe that might help you. I also drank milk to calm my stomach. I had alot of heartburn too so that helped. If someone can drive you to the ER tonight,if you can't wait until tomorrow to see the dr. I would do that. They will probably do those tests on you there. or call an ambulance. otherwise maybe start with your gp asap. My gp told me though if that when someone has bad stomach pains they should see a dr or ER right away. I 'm here if you need to talk again and try to hang in there and distract yourself by watching tv while lying down in bed with the heatingpad until you see a dr or go to ER. Just don't fall asleep with it on. I did that several times by mistake. I hope you feel better soon. Try to be believe it will be okay. I hope you find some comfort knowing that youre not alone. We're all here for you. Take care my friend.
P.S. I'mstill healing from my two endo surgeries which were a year ago, but am better than I was with the pain it caused. I still have terrible rsd flares though sometimes, but the meds and exercise I'm hoping will keep that pain under control. So keep the faith. the scariest part is not knowing. Once they find out what it is, then they can help try to fix it for you. Take care.
